On the topic of car alarms (sorry to hijack the thread) but are they really worth installing? I've got an imobiliser in my car and I think that's enough. A car alarm's just gonna make noise if somebody tries to steal the car, but nobody's gonna check on it. I see car alarms going off all the time in the city and nobody checks the damn things.

An alarm is useful. Especially if you are within earshot yourself. Paging alarms are also useful. Far from foolproof but better than nothing.

I have always checked alarms if they are not too far out of my way. I have yet to see one going off that was caused by someone breaking into the car but I still check anyway. I suspect the reason why everyone ignores alarms is because no one ever sees anyone breaking into a car.

cheers for the responses lads.

lol blx : don't worry about it :)

cheers Ben :) Yeah I've got the Autosalon magazine. I'll give it to my friend to read thru.

Are there any 'best practices' that should be followed when having your alarm installed?

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
